Critical - A problem that prevents the Client from conducting normal business.  Critical problems typically involve core processing failures, application crashes, or serious calculative errors.
 
Example-A statement routine run during reports processing that does not create the necessary statement output.  An master setup window that does not permit new records to be created.
 
Response Timeframe- For calls logged during normal support hours, a return call must be made to the client within 30 minutes.  For calls logged after-hours, a return call must be made within 1 hour
 
High - A problem that has a serious impact on Client’s operations, but does not prevent the client from conducting normal business.
 
Example- A address setup error that does allow to save it. A report with incorrect totaling or detail information. A e-space that has some data missing.
 
Response Timeframe-For calls logged during normal support hours, a return call must be made to the Client within 3 hours, but never later than the end of that business day.  For calls logged after-hours, a return call must be made by 9 am local time the next day.
 
Medium - A problem that inconveniences the Client but does necessarily represent calculative errors or other software failures.
 
Example- A date range problem. Or a IP configuration error.
 
Response Timeframe- For calls logged during normal support hours, a return call must be made to the Client during the same business day.  For calls logged after-hours, a return call must be made by the end of the next business day.
 
Low - A problem that is primarily cosmetic in nature.  Low priority problems detract from the system’s elegance and polish, but not from its core functionality.      
 
Example- One or more column headings on a report are out of alignment. The status line help for a window’s field is incorrect. The field name on a display window
 
Response Timeframe- For calls logged during normal support hours, a return call must be made to the Client during the same business day.  For calls logged after-hours, a return call must be made by the end of the next business day
